Summer’s not over yet…but around this time of year I start getting excited about bringing my favorite autumn pieces back into rotation. As soon as it’s even close to cool enough outside, I start swapping out jeans for shorts and light sweaters for tanks, and breaking out pieces that I’ve been waiting to wear all summer long: a knit shawl, a pair of motorcycle boots, an incredible leather jacket.
Speaking of incredible leather jackets: look at this.
It’s a high-end designer piece from T.J.Maxx, and is both spectacular (as you can see) and lightweight enough to wear when there’s just the slightest chill in the air. I love the versatility of this jacket; it helps me express whatever mood (and season) I’m in, from showing off my biker-chick roots to adding a little edge to a Date Night dress.
(On me: T.J.Maxx leather jacket, jeans, clutch, and shoes.)
I think a great leather jacket is a must-have for the summer-to-fall transition, but this season what I’m especially into are pieces with extra-special accents like fringe, an asymmetrical collar, or spectacular studs (those studs!). Pair this jacket with skinny jeans and a chic clutch (also found at T.J.Maxx), and you basically have my September-November uniform.
If you’re anxiously waiting to make the transition to show off your fall style and looking to round out your wardrobe for the season, excellent news: one Ramshackle Glam reader will be winning an in-store shopping spree ($500 value) on August 22nd at a Manhattan T.J.Maxx.
